PRNS’s capital mission is to Create uniquely - DEVELOPED ACREAGE* 2,094 San José places that provide connections between people, the - OPEN SPACE* 1,069 natural environment and the community. The vision - UNDEVELOPED LAND* 372 and mission are the basis for providing the Parks TRAIL MILEAGE* 61 and Community Facilities Development (P&CFD) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) CITY OPERATED COMMUNITY CENTERS* 11 with a long-term capital investment plan for the PARTNER OPERATED RE-USE SITES* 39 acquisition, development, and rehabilitation of parks, recreational facilities, trails, and open space. *Current Counts or 2018-2019 Year-End Estimates The 2020-2024 Proposed CIP provides funding of $331.6 million, of which $174.8 million is allocated in 2019-2020. The P&CFD CIP is a part of the Neighborhood Services City Service Area (CSA), supporting two of the CSA’s outcomes: Safe and Clean Parks, Facilities, and Attractions; and Vibrant Cultural, Learning and Leisure Opportunities. PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES The PRNS Capital Program is focused on developing GIS-based asset management for all park and recreation facilities, developing methods to prioritize projects, and building a staffing model that can more effectively support the demands of the park system for the 10th largest city in the United States. Stewardship of Parks – Asset Management The Department of Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Services (PRNS) is committed to maintaining high caliber amenities, extending the longevity of assets, improving cost efficiencies, and sustaining quality programs and services. The 2019-2020 Capital Budget focuses on replacement and rehabilitation of older playgrounds as a top priority. Throughout the year, inventory will continue to be assessed and priorities will be established for future fiscal years based on that inventory assessment. In addition, the Capital Budget includes ongoing funding for the previously limit-dated Senior Geographic Information Specialist to assist with GIS asset management. Staffing Management Model/Building Management Administrator (Re-use Audit) The PRNS building portfolio includes 50 community and re-use centers throughout the city, plus restroom facilities and various park building amenities. These structures are of varying ages and conditions and require routine capital improvements and repair to maintain their function. To effectively assess and program the necessary improvements at these facilities, the 2019-2020 P&CFD Capital Budget includes funding for a Building Management Administrator to provide oversight and V - 257 Parks and Community Facilities Development 2020-2024 Proposed Capital Improvement Program Overview PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES management of capital improvements at the buildings in the PRNS portfolio. This position would focus solely on buildings and provide information that would assist PRNS in determining whether additional capital investment is required to update and maintain facilities or move facilities to lease agreements. In addition, as facilities age, information gathered by the Building Management Administrator will assist in determining whether the facility should be converted to parkland or sold, as referenced in the September 2018 Office of the City Auditor Report 18-06 regarding Community Center Reuse: Efficient Monitoring and Better Data Can Help Determine the Next Phase of Reuse. Core PRNS Goals The 2020-2024 P&CFD CIP shifts its focus toward the principles outlined in PRNS’s Vision document, ActivateSJ that is being completed. Set to publish in fall 2019, the document identifies five Guiding Principles that were developed based on two years-worth of community engagement and outreach, which include: • Stewardship; • Nature; • Equity and Access; • Identify; and • Public Life Vista Montana Park These principles are reflected in the strategies discussed below. • Deferred Maintenance – Playgrounds are critical City infrastructure that require regular maintenance, inspection, renovation, and plans for routine replacement. They are exposed to the elements, wear and tear from everyday use, and are vulnerable to vandalism. More than half of existing playgrounds (57%; or 161 out of 283) are at or have exceeded the target lifespan of 15 years. Of the remaining playgrounds, 33 are 11 to 14 years old, which likely means they will need to be replaced within the next five years. PRNS has prioritized addressing playground replacements and renovations needed by each Council District. • Equity and Access – A key strategy for PRNS is to promote healthy communities by ensuring every resident is within 10 minutes to a quality park, community facility or trail. PRNS strives to provide safe places and programs for people to gather, create memories, and make friends. V - 258 Parks and Community Facilities Development 2020-2024 Proposed Capital Improvement Program Overview SOURCES OF FUNDING The P&CFD has the following primary sources of funding used to support the priorities, objectives, and strategies already discussed: 1) Construction and Conveyance (C&C) Tax revenue (C&C Tax Funds Forestdale Tot Lot $117.4 million); 2) Parkland Dedication Ordinance/Park Impact Ordinance (PDO/PIO) fees (Park Trust Fund $57.1 million); 3) revenue from the previous sale of General Obligation Bonds (Parks and Recreation Bond Projects Fund $17.7 million); 4) General Fund ($10.1 million); 5) Commercial Paper proceeds, FEMA reimbursements, and insurance payments related to the 2017 flood ($19.1 million); and 6) Measure T, Emergency Preparedness, Public Safety Forestdale Tot Lot and Infrastructure Bond proceeds ($13.0 million). Additional detail on all revenue sources included in the P&CFD Capital program is provided in Attachment D of this overview section. Summary of Major Revenues $140.0 $120.0 $100.0 $80.0 $60.0 $40.0 Dollars (in (in Millions) Dollars $20.0 $0.0 2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 Commercial Paper/FEMA/Flood Insurance Public Safety and Infrastructure Bond Fund General Fund Parks and Recreation Bond Projects Fund Park Trust Fund C&C Tax Revenue Note: The Council-approved methodology to allocate in-lieu fees is to budget only actual receipts of revenue. Therefore, in the Park Trust Fund there are no revenue projections in the CIP. The City’s C&C Tax has historically been the primary source of support for the P&CFD CIP. The 2019-2020 Proposed Capital Budget estimate for C&C taxes is $36.0 million, of which 65.2% ($23.5 million) is allocated to the P&CFD CIP. A total of 64% of the City’s C&C Tax is distributed among the Parks Central C&C Tax Fund, Parks City-Wide C&C Tax Fund, and the 10 Council Districts C&C Tax Funds; and 1.2% of the City’s C&C Tax is allocated to the Park Yards C&C Tax Fund. Approximately 99% of the C&C tax is derived from a transfer tax imposed upon each transfer of real property, with the remaining 1% generated from a construction tax levied on most types of V - 259 Parks and Community Facilities Development 2020-2024 Proposed Capital Improvement Program Overview SOURCES OF FUNDING construction. Due to a slowdown in the local real estate market, which is affecting home prices as well as sales activity, C&C taxes have begun to decrease, and the anticipated trend is for drop again in 2019- 2020 and then stabilize.
